While Konata and Patricia's transformations into Haruhi and Mikuru are successful, Tsukasa ends up turning into a creeper because the hair sample she obtained from Yuki had gunpowder in it. Kagami, Tsukasa, and Miyuki are invited to the cosplay café Konata works at, but on the way, they were asked to buy a comic magazine and a new Code Geass doujinshi. Men outside of the comic store start to take pictures of Tsukasa because she looks like Akari Kamigishi from To Heart, another game from the Drillimation team. Kagami intervenes and pulls Tsukasa into the store. When they arrive at the café, Konata takes polyjuice and transforms into Haruhi Suzumiya and there are two other employees who took polyjuice, having Patricia Martin transformed into Mikuru Asahina and Minami Iwasaki into Yuki Nagato, along with a customer resembling Kyon. Konata and the two disguised as Yuki and Mikuru do the dance sequence to the song Hare Hare Yukai, Tsukasa and Miyuki were impressed, Kagami was not for the most part, but smiled a bit after it was over. The employees speak like the characters they are cosplaying when they serve; Konata speaks like Haruhi and imitates her exact voice (being that the voice actresses of Haruhi and Konata in both the English and Japanese versions of the series are the same).

In Lucky Channel, it turns out that the concert talked about in the previous episode turns out to be nothing more than a karaoke performance. Akira is quite angered at this but still sings regardless. The show ends before Akira can finish her song, but the song continues into the credits.
